Spell of Sunshine

Volunteer Kate Tylis led a group in an arts and crafts project at Harlem Hospital Center.

To mark April, which has been designated Project Sunshine Month, volunteers worked to bring cheer to uptown children.

On two different occasions, volunteers shared with children and family members at the East Harlem Asthma Center of Excellence (EHACE) at 161-169 East 110th Street and Harlem Hospital at 506 Lenox Avenue.

On April 14, over 85 children and family members enjoyed a movie-themed “Party Time” event at (EHACE).

EHACE provides free services to help control asthma and improve overall health. These services are available to East and Central Harlem residents and include one-on-one asthma counseling, community health workshops and referrals for indoor pest and mold removal. EHACE is a program of the city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s East and Central Harlem District Public Health Office.

At “Party Time,” Project Sunshine’s employee volunteers from the NorthStar Realty participated in festivities including arts and crafts, face painting, and games. This event is one of many programs offered to young children and their family members who receive education and counseling for pediatric asthma at EHACE. Special guests included Project Sunshine Board Member Al Tylis, Kate Tylis and Ryan Serhant of the Bravo television series Million Dollar Listing New York.

On April 22, Project Sunshine volunteer Kate Tylis, 2016 Volunteer Appreciation Award recipient, led a group in a high-spirited creative arts and crafts project for young patients at Harlem Hospital Center, Pediatric Department. Kate and her fellow volunteers sought to create a celebration designed to relieve the anxiety of children facing medical challenges with their families. The group’s programs engage children in a variety of arts projects which aim to beautify and personalize hospital environments.

Project Sunshine is a nonprofit organization of over 15,000 volunteers who bring programming to over 100,000 children facing medical challenges and their families across the United States. For more information and ways to get involved, visit www.projectsunshine.org.
